The Trump Plan for Gaza

Trumps’ Common-Sense Approach and Real Estate Prowess Makes Perfect Sense for Gaza

The world has witnessed the horrific crimes committed against the hostages, seeing their emaciated bodies, with some losing as much as 30% of their body weight—images reminiscent of the Holocaust. Just in two weeks Trump has been in office he has enacted laws to combat antisemitism on college campuses, authorized the release of 1,700 two-ton bombs, paid for by Israel, that had been held up in a warehouse under Biden. Additionally, Trump has increased military aid to Israel, now totaling $7.4 billion.

Seventy Hamas prisoners are languishing in a hotel in Cairo because no country wants them. All the main players in the Middle East refuse to accept the Arab prisoners held in Israeli jails for capital offenses. What does that tell you? Meanwhile, Jordan and Egypt receive close to $3.5bn in aid from the United States. You must scratch your head on this one!

Trump’s plan makes sense. Gaza is uninhabitable and dangerous– tons of debris, broken buildings ready for collapse and most of all breathing the asbestos. Nobody can live there and certainly during the heavy construction period.

The United Nations estimates that clearing the debris from the Gaza Strip could take approximately 15 years to remove around 40 million tons. Not only does the debris need to be removed, but all tunnels must also be fully destroyed including all bombs and other explosive material. The debris must be carefully disposed of in safe and environmentally friendly locations without posing a risk to people.

Before any cleanup efforts in Gaza can begin, a team of expert architects and engineers must first develop comprehensive urban plans that account for all aspects of infrastructure. The planning phase alone could take 1-2 years to design the optimal mix of housing—including affordable housing—hotels, parks, public transportation (rail, buses, trolleys), commercial spaces, sports facilities, museums, government buildings, entertainment hubs, schools, and more.

Once the plans are designed and approved, a completely new infrastructure must be built, including water systems, storm drains, sewers, underground electrical grids, gas lines, internet, streets, highways, lighting, and sidewalks. Additionally, new soil will likely need to be imported to ensure a strong foundation capable of supporting medium- and high-rise buildings constructed with reinforced steel and concrete, designed to withstand earthquakes. Only after these foundational elements are in place can construction of buildings begin.

Gaza must be emptied out during the entire process.

Egypt is leading an Arab Summit to combat Trumps plan – a knife in the back while they sit smiling ripping off US taxpayers.

No investor will invest money in this project if the above conditions are not met.

Trump will secure partnerships to temporarily relocate Gazans until Gaza is rebuilt. By then, they will have resettled into modern homes with all the comforts and opportunities they never had while living under the constant threat of Hamas terrorists.

If Gazans can renounce terrorism, they would, of course, be welcome to return. However, a new government and strict security measures must be established. Everyone would undergo a thorough and comprehensive security background check to ensure that Gaza never becomes a terror regime.

Trump, a seasoned real estate developer, has been immersed in the industry since childhood, working alongside his father, Fred Trump. Having been born and raised in New York, he is well-versed in navigating government hurdles to secure building permits. His extensive portfolio includes a wide range of developments. With this background—and assuming Gaza is clear, this would be a seamless opportunity for him and his team, which includes not only real estate developers but also top financial experts.

Trump will secure host countries to take in Gazans. If Jordan and Egypt are not willing to cooperate as US partners, then why should they continue receiving $3.5 billion in aid? His team will undoubtedly consider redirecting these funds back to the US Treasury, ensuring the money is invested in ways that directly benefit Americans.

Consider the upside—rather than investing time and effort into a relentless campaign of hatred and violence against Jews, they could channel that energy into building a new life of prosperity, growth, and rejecting the cycle of hatred, which has led to nothing but failure.
